-====== Qortal Core ====== 
  
-Do I have to run the core and UI at all times? In other words, if the core is running, but the UI is not, am I still minting?  
-You must always have the core running to stay fully synced and “minting”. The UI does not have to be running. 
- 
-How long does it usually take to sync the chain the first time?  
-It can take up to few days to fully synchronize full chain. For speeding it up, download bootstrap and you database will start to sync from about 95% instead of 0%. 
- 
-How should settings.json look like? 
-{ 
-"maxPeers": 32, 
-"minBlockchainPeers": 8, 
-"apiDocumentationEnabled": true 
-} 
- 
-My node is taking a long time to sync and get peers. Any solutions?  
- 
-You can try changing your router settings with port forwarding, or virtual server. These different methods have worked for several people. Otherwise, reach out on Discord for further diagnostics and solutions. 
-It is never a good idea to add your node in DMZ. That will stop all the DPI and SPI and if you have the API enabled and white listed, you are putting your computer at risk! DMZ bypasses the SPI mechanism of the built in filters and all the internet traffic can reach your node directly. SPI (stateful packet inspection) firewall protects you by examining incoming packets against existing connections. 
-Also add UPnP text. If a router has it then it must be enabled. UPnP or NAT-pmp opens dynamic port ranges to act as an assist for SPI. Enabling NAT/UPnP solves problem for the most but unfortunately due to the torrent p2p laws most ISPs now filter ports by default at the client side so port forward is also needed. For example: 
- 
-219.88.183.49:12392 (qortal-1.2.3-2df0453), height 42318, sig: PXNoJM7W, ts 2020-07-31 17:17:24 
- 
-192.168.100.83:44380 (qortal-1.2.3-2df0453), height 42318, sig: PXNoJM7W, ts 2020-07-31 17:17:24 
- 
-Look at the second IP address with a dynamic port. This is UPnP working. Instead of 12392 , it has opened a 44380 port for TCP handshake / connect / ACK.
